             Pip, a young orphan living with his sister and her husband, sits in a cemetery one evening looking at his parents' tombstones. Suddenly, an escaped convict springs up from behind a tombstone, grabs Pip and orders him to bring him food and a file for his leg irons. Pip obeys, but the convict is soon captured anyway. The convict protects Pip by claiming to have stolen the items himself. One day Pip is taken by his Uncle Pumblechook to play at Satis House the home of the wealthy dowager Miss Havisham who wears an old wedding dress everywhere she goes and keeps all the clocks in her house stopped at the same time. During his visit, he meets a beautiful young girl named Estella who treats him coldly. Nevertheless, he falls in love with her and dreams of becoming a wealthy gentleman so that he might be worthy of her. He even hopes that Miss Havisham intends to make him a gentleman and marry him to Estella, but his hopes are dashed when, after months of regular visits to Satis House, Miss Havisham tells him that she will help him become a common laborer in his family's business.

He expresses disdain for his former friends and loved ones, especially Joe, but he continues to pine after Estella.
